Notes

From the inventory: "The fountain, now a planter, was built in 1901 by the Montclair Fountain Club and the Prohibition Party to refresh animals and people. The Baroness Von Richthofen donated money to the construction of the fountain and her ashes were later interred there. The granite is inscribed with a line from Samuel Coleridge's "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" "He prayeth well who loveth well, both man and bird and beast"."; Scanned image from loaned collection.; Title and content derived from inventory prepared by Kathleen Barlow.; Digitization sponsored by the Kenneth King Foundation.; R7001515105
